Folks claim physical is useless because "look at The Crew". No shit. For the millionth time: We want a full game build in a proper state at the very least, preserved on disc/card. Independently usable. We object any online dependencies. We care for properties beyond tangibility.

Just delete all your posts on any Meta platform, and then delete your Meta account. Maybe I'm too cynical but I don't believe for a second that Meta will respect and honor anyone's opt out requests.

They didn't have Wario Land on there already?!

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

🎵 Hello getting walled by a Komodo my old friend 🎶 I've come to rage at you again

I really can’t believe I got this Turbo Express working again! Alkaline batteries from the 90s completely exploded and wreaked havoc on all of the PCBs. I replaced the cart slot pcb and controller pcb, patched a bunch of traces, and installed an LCDDRV to finish the job!

Oh and just so we all know.... I FUCKIN' TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOO! me, months ago; youtu.be/5e8x5PalEIQ

Hey Google. FUCK OFF with the daily terms of service updates already.

Oh cool, Tempest Rising just released a map editor

PlayStation and Xbox were supposed to be competing to see who could be the best brand for people to play on, not to see who could be the worst brand in the market

HERE COMES DA MONEY www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmen...

This studio holds some of the most veteran FPS developers in the history of the industry. The folks who know the most about engine optimization, too. Livelihoods ruined for no goddamn reason and the damage from these layoffs will be felt for years.

Welp. Ready to play the last thing id as we knew them for the past decade will ever make. 😑

@dark1x.bsky.social did a great job articulating why Xbox gutting id makes the situation at Xbox feel so hopeless youtu.be/DeUV3IqEZRU

Ed was on fire in this one, I burst out laughing several times youtu.be/II_vVX7brD0

For everyone claiming game companies should embrace Sony's anti-consumer move, here is a wonderful breakdown of ex-Sony-dev Del Walker. Shows perfectly why basically everybody except the excel sheet junkies at Sony should be enraged about killing discs:

Even in death that ghoul can't help himself but subvert democracy one last time.

Shit, I'm dead

Oh, that's why Smooth Dunk reposted the rocks comic

This was being funded by Xbox, right? Add this studio and these layoffs to Asha Sharma's body count

"Digital is inevitable, just give up" Oh I am giving up. I won't be buying the next PlayStation or Xbox. What do you mean "No, not like that"?

Mitch mcconnells obituary is gonna be like “mitch began his career in Washington trying to get teenagers to smoke cigarettes” and then just get worse from there

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

just thankful that double fine no longer has to put up with this

Interviewed DoesItPlay?'s Clemens Istel about: - Sony's recent announcement - Preservation - Physical media - and more... @doesitplay.org | @patoclemente.bsky.social Check it out!

Sony blindsided its own partners with their "kill discs" strategy. We heard from multiple insiders that 3rd party had no clue it was coming. Now a report suggests 1st party/AAA was steamrolled too. Sony screws the industry, and doesn't even give its own folks time to brace.

Took a photo of this license plate a few days ago while on vacation in Maine, seems apt today.

It's Monday night, how are assholes still making noise with fireworks? You should be done with that shit by now. People have to go to work in the morning.

One tiny bit of good news Doom The Dark Ages Revelations unlocks at a sensible time. Not 8:00 PM like the base game did. allthings.how/doom-the-dar...

I had hoped this was how I was finding out, but no, it hasn't happened yet

Skybox gave me space to talk about decoupling your enjoyment of video games from the release schedule, by looking backwards at what's new to you. Emulate, mod original hardware, borrow, pirate, I don't care how you do it. There's more to games than a future filled with $1,000 consoles.

So what hobbies do people have that aren't being ruined by tech bro AI dipshits?

The degree to which I want to see Copilot crash and burn cannot be overstated.

This is blowing up so I'll leave it by saying this isn't even the dumbest thing that was said that day but I'll let other people tell those stories But it's so much worse

I don't even have the words to express how hopeless gaming feels to me right now with all the fuckery Microsoft and Sony have been pulling recently. Really gonna need Nintendo to keep out of this shit because it's starting to feel like they're the last bastion.

If the next Id game, if it ever releases, is on UE6 I am going to be on the news

Amazing anecdote that directly correlates with what I’ve imagined

Not even the guys making the id Tech engines are safe?! The best time to fire Asha Sharma was the day she took the role. The second best time to fire Asha Sharma is right now.

I kinda feel bad complaining about this now. Since this Nintendo Direct was shown, the rest of the industry has blown itself to bits, destroyed lives and the partial future of the medium. May Nintendo's conservative approach continue to produce good results.

If they ended up decimating id Software's tech team then I have no faith in anything they'll ever do again under the current leadership. Between last week and today's news...I just don't know what to say at this point.
